For Superannuation Funds
The Challenge
Engaging members with their Super is an industry-wide challenge for Super Funds. Many people aren’t interested in their Super and don’t prioritise saving for retirement. It’s easier than ever for people to switch Funds, and some believe they can achieve better returns through SMSF’s.
An effective response for Super Funds is to become a Trusted Advisor for all aspects of retirement planning – not just money. Our retirement planning resources can help Funds do this.
The Outcomes
Research* shows that when Funds provide our retirement planning resources to their members, their members become more loyal, engaged and feel that their Fund is delivering more value. Members also become more open to financial advice.
Other important outcomes for Funds include –
- Positioning at the forefront of emerging trends in member engagement
- A point of difference in an increasingly competitive market
- Demonstrating their commitment to member interests and retirement outcomes, and
- Members that are more ready to make financial decisions.
Some Funds already provide their members with non-financial and lifestyle content about retirement. What we offer is different because it is comprehensive – addressing all the issues. It’s practical, innovative and specifically designed to engage the over 50’s.
Contact us to see the exciting things we’re developing, and to talk about how we can help you engage with your over 50’s members.
